This fixes #5329, which occurred when using MigrationHelpers on a
table that Postgres estimated to be non-empty when it was actually
empty.
start_arel = table.project(table[:id]).order(table[:id].asc).take(1)
start_arel = yield table, start_arel if block_given?
- start_id = exec_query(start_arel.to_sql).to_hash.first['id'].to_i
+ first_row = exec_query(start_arel.to_sql).to_hash.first
+ # In case there are no rows but we didn't catch it in the estimated size:
+ return unless first_row
+ start_id = first_row['id'].to_i
say "Migrating #{table_name}.#{column} (~#{total.to_i} rows)"
